# Upload Files

> Put files on the machine. Send files up to 4 MiB inline (`content_base64`); larger ones come back with an
`upload_url` to PUT and an `upload_id` to commit (`POST …/files/upload/complete`). Unchanged files are skipped.

  title: Voyager API
  description: >-
    Generate images, video, speech, music, sound effects and 3D with your
    Voyager workspace's credits. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer
    vy_live_…`. Every response carries `X-Request-ID` and the
    `X-RateLimit-Limit` / `X-RateLimit-Remaining` / `X-RateLimit-Reset` (seconds
    until the window resets) headers; a 429 adds `Retry-After`. Errors share one
    envelope (`ErrorResponse`).

    Set up the Voyager API in this project.


    Voyager generates images, video, speech, music, sound effects, 3D and object
    masks with the same models

    and credits as the Voyager app. Docs: https://docs.voyager.so/api 
    (agent-readable:

    https://docs.voyager.so/llms.txt, OpenAPI:
    https://api.voyager.so/v1/openapi.json)


    1. Key: read it from the env var VOYAGER_API_KEY. Never hard-code it or
    commit it; add
       VOYAGER_API_KEY= to .env.example and make sure .env is git-ignored. If it's missing,
       ask me to create one at https://voyager.so/dashboard/api (paid plans).
    2. Base URL https://api.voyager.so/v1, header: Authorization: Bearer
    $VOYAGER_API_KEY

    3. Pick a model: GET
    /models?type=image|video|speech|music|sound_effect|3d|segment. Read
       GET /models/{id} for its input_schema before building a request.
    4. Optional cost check: POST /estimate with the same body as step 5; it
    returns
       estimated_charge (credits) and can_run.
    5. Create: POST /jobs {"model": "<id>", "operation": "<op>", "input": {...}}
    with an Idempotency-Key header
       (a new UUID per logical request; reuse it when retrying the same request).
    6. Wait: GET /jobs/{id}?wait=25 until status is succeeded, failed or
    canceled
       (honor Retry-After / poll_after_ms). Or pass "webhook_url" and verify the
       Standard Webhooks signature with the secret from the dashboard.
    7. Results: job.outputs[].url is a signed link valid for 1 hour; download it
    right
       away, or GET /jobs/{id} again for a fresh link. Files are kept 30 days.
    8. Errors are {"error": {"code","message","retryable",...}}. 402 = out of
    credits or
       not on a paid plan (show error.details.upgrade_url to me). 429 = slow down: wait
       Retry-After seconds. Retry only when retryable is true, with the same Idempotency-Key.

    Minimal example (curl):
      curl -s https://api.voyager.so/v1/jobs \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOYAGER_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
        -d '{"model":"nano-banana-2.1","operation":"text-to-image","input":{"prompt":"a red fox in snow","aspect_ratio":"16:9"}}'
      curl -s "https://api.voyager.so/v1/jobs/<job id>?wait=25" -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOYAGER_API_KEY"

    Write a small typed client (create → wait → download) with retries as above,
    then

    generate one test image to prove it works and tell me what it cost
    (job.credits.charged;

    if credits.state is still "pending", report job.credits.estimated and say
    it's an estimate).
